I am thinkin of pulling the trigger on this
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...ery-for-for-htc-desire-hd-softbank-001ht.html
If you get it, let us know your results. Too bad it's backordered for a few weeks. Hopefully those positive reviews aren't fake. 1500 mAH might be impossible in such a thin battery but who knows.
Mugen batteries are known to under preform from their mAh claims. I would be wary a any battery that claims more power without needing a new battery door as the only way to substantially increase the mAh is to increase the size of the battery. There is also no stated dimensions on the page.
Until a company figures out that they can add to the length of the battery with a modified door we're not going to see numbers beyond 1300.
Edit: I think HTC may have something in the works. This is what I'd wait for. Sales of this phone are through the roof so it makes sense that they could do this and get a return on the investment.

Oh wow. This is awesome. I guess I'll sit tight to see what HTC has in the oven.
(Regarding a possible extended HTC battery) I'm more than pleased with my battery life, but this is awesome. I would definitely buy - right now I'm getting about 1.5 days out of my phone, if I could make it to two days and charge every other night/ insure a full day with HEAVY use I would be very verrrry happy.

This is basically how I use my phone
-CM7
-Regular Use: Browsing internet is somewhat light, because I make good use out of the Pulse newsreader app. I'll check twitter/facebook a few times, make about an hour or so of phone calls per day, send about 15 texts, check xda a lot, and use audiogalaxy to stream my music library, and use runkeeper to track my runs when I'm running outside (when it is nice out) and I rarely run for less than an hour.
-2 Google Accounts, one of which is set to sync in the background (for gmail, calendar etc.)
-Auto Bright
-Wifi/GPS left on
-Social accounts syncing manually
I don't ALWAYS get 1.5 days. I get 1.5 days usually when my usage is somewhat light. I usually make the judgement call the night before if I need to charge or not. If I do charge after one day of pretty heavy use, the battery is almost always above 20% after a solid 24 hours.
Anyone else got HTC to tell this too?
It sounds like they just said that to get people off their back

Give them a call and see what they tell you.
Since no one posted I thought I'd give them a call and it turns out that churro7 might be right. I was told that HTC doesn't manufacture the batteries and was given a list of "Authorized" accessory stores online. She told me to check with them. So it sounds like the guy in the other thread was probably fed a line of ****.
The only thing HTC would make looks like it would be the new door. That's not to say they aren't contracting out the battery but I'd like to hear this from a credible source before I buy into it.
For the time being Sedio's 1300mAh looks like the only option.
Does anyone know of a battery that will fit but is longer? Obviously the contacts would have to line up right.
The dimensions are 52mm x 46mm x 5mm with the 46 being where we can go longer. The Thunderbolt's???
If I knew for sure one would fit I would order it along with getting HTC to send me a replacement battery door. Then I'd take the power tools to my original door to see if a little tweaking might make it work.
What about the mugen?

I would rather buy another stock one than buy a Mugen.
Look at the results of other Mugen batteries here.
You think this one is the same as the others?

Unless they are better able to utilize the internal space of the housing there is no way to extend the mAh capacity without also increasing the size of the housing. It would take new technology.
I'm not here to tell you how to spend your money. If you want to take a chance then by all means get yourself one. Then report your findings good or bad. That way others can make a more educated decision.
Don't waste your money.
Just Google Mugen batteries. You'll see plenty of negative feedback regarding their batteries.

I have been using momax 2700mAh battery for about 6 months now. Still running great, my usage us from medium to heavy and I'll get quite easily 2 days uptime (usually I'll plug it to charger when it's down to 10-30%). Screentime is about 4-6h (depends how much I play etc).
Btw IIRC here I'd already a topic about momax batteries, you'll find more info from there.

It's looks like a good product but the problem (for me ) it's the combination with a protective case.
have u bought that?how is it?
Hey xeGox ,
This is the only reason why I didn't bought it.
Another solution is :
2*Anker Extended Battery Samsung Galaxy S i9000+Charger (1800mAh)
search on eBay (sorry,the forums rules prevent new users to give links).
There's already an existing thread for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944438
Yes I have got one too and it's way better than the stock battery. I just did my 3rd recharge/discharge and battery laster for 2days 10hrs with wifi/3G always ON, brightness on auto, display is always ON most of the time due to my facebook addiction and playing 3d table tennis. For me, getting this is all worth it.
For the additional thickness, I don't really mind it as I'm used with my Nokia N900, though that one is much thicker. Also with Momax, it gives me a better grip on my phone. I picked the white one because the black one is a fingerprint magnet..just a personal choice really.
So I just ordered an OEM battery for about $7, but I'm still interested in a high quality slim battery. Anyone find one brand stands out in particular? I see Anker was popular, is it still the best?
I know anker is well known brand. the only problem with the g2x is that there is no additional room for a larger capacity battery. I haven't found any batterys with higher density, but I would definitely like to see a post that shows which batteries have a longer life span.

I have the Extended Battery, had to change my back case
its think, 3700mah. I have searched for one to fit in the reg case that had more juice no luck.
I am currently using the reg battery and case, because Genesis Rom with harsh kernel has some good batt life. So thank god for that.
If anyone knows of a higher than 1500mah batt that fits our normal case please let me know
Thanks, and i want to say hello to everyone ive been a member for months but i just now decided to make posts.
XDA is like my homepage, i always run here when something isnt right right my G2X. Now my phone is running 100% with harsh's new kernel and Genesis ICS AOSP ROM Stable 1, which is simply amazing. I OC'd to 1408 and its running great, no issues so far.
Took me a long time to get a WIFI hotspot app to work tho, but i found one

Yeah it's a bit chunky. The thing that interests me is that it actually protects the phone as well.
Whereas I want the slimmest addon possible. Never used a case. Hate them. But more battery would put me onto it.if only it was reasonable in size.

you've just brought the wrath a concrete surface onto your latest device by making that statement. the phone gods are coming for you.
seriously though, i have the case, and it works perfect with my AT&T HOX+. yes, plus. I got it on shopandroid with free shipping and a 15% off promo code, that can be found with a quick google search.
instructions and website say you need to charge and drain 3 cycles and overcharge for at least 3 hours before obtaining optimal performance.
so, ill post an update if anyone is interested what kind of results i'm getting.
I'm glad I found this. If it is slimmer than a Mugen 3200, I might have to order one of these instead. I've heard great things about Seido.

I like seidio.
It's definitely a lot slimmer, but packs almost half or quarter of the juice of the mugen
On the other hand, it offers protection on the face of the phone, as the mugen just clasps onto the sides.

diff'rnt strokes...
The lack of thickness is my very least feature about this phone. So, I must say that I am a HUGE fan of the seidio and I will be contacting them about their innocell line. My plan is to check on the form factor, see if they based it off of any other battery( to see if there is a thicker battery that will match and give proper charge level, etc) check the inside of the case to see what lays behind the battery, and design a simple new system for loading batteries from the rear. I will probably do that even if it cant be upgraded. This phone needs to last for 2 years and tearing that case apart 4 times a week just won't cut it.
Me and Mr dremel have become very very close since phones started being ruined by people who prefer a smaller phone over one that works. Keep dialing down your cpu, turning down your brightness, dumping hours into modding software and the like, and avoiding any use without a charger. I'm essentially just the same except I've never bricked a phone. I have played a whole lot of first person shooters and watched lots and lots of video, NEVER WORRIED ABOUT BATTERY LIFE . I bought this phone because it's an awesome toy and keeps me connected fast.
I commend all the great things you guys come up with. I've rooted several phones just to get better battery readings. Different strokes. Peace!
I really wish they would come out with a white version of that case.

Hi guys,
So I did some testing on batteries for the S3 and it seemed to get positive feedback from fellow XDA members. I was wondering how many people would be interested in the testings for the S4. I buy most of the batteries myself (which costs a lot of money and I am not asking for donations). I just want to help as many S4 owners on buying the right battery. If you would like me to do similar tests please reply in this thread. If it gets enough replies I'll begin buying the batteries asap and start posting results one by one in a new thread(hopefully it'll get stickied).
Thanks in advance

It would be great if there was just one place where you could find all the stats. There are so many batteries out there. And sure people write reviews about them already. But all those tests where under different circumstances and not at all comparable.
So yes I would really like it when there was just one thread that ruled them all...

PS: Please make a standard test routine.
For example, 3 hours of pure standby time, 1 hour of heavy gaming, 1 hour watching video, and some other stuff.
Also be sure to calibrate your battery right and let it settle for a day before every test. And last but not least, keep everything the same, no switching ROM, no switching kernel, network mode and Wifi both on. Be consistent...

I am willing to test anything. I have been a tester for a few prototype cases (some sucked Ballz) LOL. But, I love aftermarket batteries and would be able to give it a fair shake!
Would love to help out
Count me in for testing. New S4 owner, but experienced geek.

I think it would be great if it's not too much trouble to go through. Having a guide to ascertain the best battery for my needs would be very helpful.
I actually wish there were a lightweight, smaller capacity battery for everyday use, since I'm rarely in a situation where I don't have charging access. I haven't put them on a scale, but in the hand the battery weighs almost as much as the whole phone! A battery with roughly half the capacity would probably knock half an ounce or so off the overall weight. Probably wishful thinking on my part.

Hehe. Different strokes for different folks! The relatively light weight of the S4 was a key selling point to me, and also a reason I don't use a case. But for people like you, you can always add a case, bigger capacity battery, etc., but there's really no way to make it lighter. Maybe a helium tank!

Yeah lol people have said their S3 battery works for the s4 although I'm not sure how much a few hundred mah really makes a difference in wait. If you're really serious you take the back cover off and use a piece of electrical tape to hold the battery in.

Lol exactly what I was thinking but I did this on my old G2X when the tabs on my back cover bent/broke. If you have it in a case you'll never notice.
I've just recently purchased Hyperion's 5200mAh battery from Amazon. It will arrive within the next week or so. I can do some extensive testing on that and report my results if anyone would like.
I thought I read somewhere that a Nexus battery would be an upgrade and a same fit? Is this true or are there any other OEM batteries that fit for more capacity? I know there are a couple aftermarket batteries that dont require a back cover but are kind of unreliable from what I'm reading. I remember having the htc sensation and upgrading it to the evo 3d battery, same fit but like 500 more mah.
This would be great, keep up the good work!
I'd like to see a test/review. Been thinking about buying one of the 7600 options that comes with a case.
